wayne, you know you can remove the steering shaft by taking off the one bolt up near the firewall, instead of pulling off the steering box.

oh and split that motherfuckin belly!!

Jesus Wayne, you took like 10 steps back. $100 you won’t have it hoppin on the streets by June.

the steering box had to come off anyway bro :wink: but thats the only thing i have left to do before the body can go up up up. sure woulda been easier if i left the suspension on it as a rolling chassis. fuck.

i’m shooting for june 21st…

it’s not really a step back… the way i’m looking at it, instead of having a frame last one season, it’ll last forever. so i may get a late start on the driving… but whoever owns this thing next summer is gonna be REAL happy with it :wink: :thumbup

Was just about to say… “You probably wont have it next year anyway” haha

got my visors replaced and my steering wheel. also got my new caprice spindles in the mail! sweeet. no rub on 13s bitches!

BEST THREAD EVAR. MOAR PICS DEMMANDEED! NAWMEAN?

Ever think about becoming a professional tack-welder? We have a job opening for one- just think, we could car pool!
TACKING welds… Think about it. Tacking welds ALL day looonng. We have about 12 guys now that do exactly that. BORING!!1!i!

Anyhow, hopper progress is win. Bathr00m progress is fail, leave the mural alone!!

soooooooooooo definitely on hold for a bit. my plates are supposed to show tomorrow so i can at least put in some time as long as it’s free. my savings took a major fucking beating with this setback i’m experiencing… i’ll post pics and explain everything when I know more.

so much for being on hold…

Enough with the bullshit, on with the pics. Before: (you can see it wouldn’t line up anywhere)
